Gave me new perspectives--really helpful! 2008-05-12
I have thoroughly enjoyed (and benefitted from) the perspective on procrastination that I received from Kerul Kassel's book, "Productive Procrastination". I was first intrigued by the title. Once I delved into the book, I was more intrigued by the content. As I pile more and more "things that HAVE to get done" on my plate, it is easy to start putting off tasks and then start focusing more on what is NOT getting done than on what I have accomplished. Using her background as a professional coach, Kerul does more than tell you how to fix a problem with procrastination. She shows you the difference between destructive and productive procrastination and provides tools and perspectives to help you make the changes that work best for you. It was both encouraging and motivating to see that some of my procrastination is really serving a good purpose!
Informative! A valuable resource 2008-04-22
In "Productive Procrastination," Kerul Kassel shows the reader that procrastination can be beneficial, if used correctly. She distinguishes from a "good" and "bad" form of procrastination and gives tips on how to overcome the destructive kind. She shows us how to prioritize so that not everything is left to the last minute. To learn the "importance of what's important," as she calls it, Kassel provides exercises that we can use to see how we really spend our time.
However, she does not blindly preach procrastination, either. She does a great job detailing how others are affected when we practice destructive procrastination and when it's not acceptable to procrastinate.
The book is great for those life-long procrastinators looking to organize their lives (and jobs!) without following too rigid a regimen, but it's also a great read for those who have always seen their procrastination habits as negative.
